ASVA has partnered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation (TCMWF) to support its educational forum, Building Bridges of Integration for TCM, and to broaden the dialogue on health and wellness. The conference will take place September 14-17, at the Hyatt Regency, Reston, VA. This year’s focus is: Consciousness, Self-Discovery and Everyday Health.

TCMWF continue to present an extraordinary group of experts and encourage dialogues among integrative healthcare practitioners. Far more than a conference, Building Bridges for TCM is a unique healing experience in a learning environment. Its electric energy field draws participants back year after year to build community and share experiences. A broad range of integrative practitioners attend and explore TCM’s unique body–mind–spirit framework in depth. The powerful healing tradition of TCM is experienced from morning until night with Taoist meridian stretches, plenary meetings, interactive workshops, thought-provoking dialogues, and private sessions of Qigong Meridian Therapy or LifeForce: Tao of Medical Qigong. PDAs granted by NCCAOM and CMEs for medical doctors, psychiatrists and doctors of osteopathy applied.
